I bought the RK 37 and have no problem with 4x5 or 5x6' bales. I purchase 4x5 bales regularly and help my neighbor with their 5x6 bales and can lift and stack them 2 high. These bales range in weight from 900 to 1250 lbs,, no problems.

TractoTYMe, Thanks for the information. After reviewing this top link and doing a bit of research,, I have ordered this unit and it is enroute as we speak. I will send out an update once received and installed.

Wanting to see what top links folks have used and what the outcome has been. I would like to add this to my RK 37 but looking for information. Thanks

Thanks for the encouraging comments fellas. I now have a whooping 14.5 hours on the machine. Man, I feel like a professional! NOT!! So far, I am really impressed with the machine, been out in -7 temps and stayed nice and toasty in the cab. I let her warmup in the shop for a solid 15 minutes...

Just got an RK37 and was looking around my shop when I noticed I had 2 of the Ken's bolt on hooks. I had bought a set of 3 for a previous tractor but could only put one on the bucket. I placed these just outside the lift arms as there isn't really a place to them right in front due to the skid...

The above comments are correct. I would suggest looking at anyone who has a SCUT in your area and see what they are using. Also look at craigs list and facebook market place, you can buy a decent used blade fairly cheap and try it. Youtube also has a ton of videos on SCUT using scraper blades...

First thing I did was clean a pasture and spread manure,, managed to track a good bit into the cab and flung a wee bit of manure all over the tractor! She is dusty, dirty and the tires are filled with mud. Thought I'd have use the 4x4 in a muddy field, but she walked right through just fine...

Good news on the hobby farm front,,,, I just got my RK37!! Wow only waited about 2 weeks. I ordered mine with the Hydrostatic tranny, cab, rear remotes, adjustable 3 point arms, ended up with the R4 tires, FEL, 3rd function, 60" grapple and Backhoe. And yep you guessed it,, got the Red with...

Indeed, they told me 4-6 weeks on the good side,, maybe longer. Thay have been averaging about 4-6 weeks currently. Fingers crossed!

I will check the hoses and hydraulic fittings as suggested, Thank you. I will upload a picture or two when it arrives and give a rundown of that process here in the Midwest. Have to admit to being a wee bit excited!

I had seen the info on the FEL level issue and had that on my LS MT125 and it was just a small adjustment on the fel frame to make it right. if it is off, I will have them correct before I accept. I did read that about the lights for the glow plug,, one would think they would fix that as it is...

Yes indeed, thought I would do all that just prior to turning the key for the first time at the dealership. I downloaded the owner's manual, I hope the printed version is more detailed,, but not holding my breather.

Ok, I pulled the trigger and ordered an RK 37. Rural King store rep said they are getting them anywhere from 4-6 weeks. I got the RK37HC with a FEL, backhoe and 60" grapple and 3rd function. My question, upon delivery what in your experiences should I look at? Is there anything that stands out...

I just received the following from "Ask the RK Guy" on their website: I had asked if there was a difference in the tire sizes from the R4 to the R14. Their data shows the overall height of tractor with a cab at 92.5", my shop door is 94", so needed an idea if I can bring it in the shop,, it is...
